It's one of the few good news these days: after seven months of growth, the unemployment rate fell again in October, albeit only minimally.
Erding - It is now 2.6 percent, 0.1 points less than in September.
The employment agency announced on Thursday.
A total of 2161 people are currently unemployed, 142 fewer than in the previous month.
Nevertheless, the corona pandemic continues to have a strong impact on the economy.
A year ago the rate was just 1.6 percent.
That corresponded to full employment.
The slight recovery is mainly due to the fact that many young people under the age of 25 have found a job or have started an apprenticeship or study.
Here the decrease was 0.7 points to 2.2 percent.
Employers reported 134 vacancies in the month to come, as well as in September. According to the agency, 691 jobs are currently vacant. ham
